Introduction To Pharmacokinetics

Absorption Rate Constant

The simulation on this page plots how the concentration of an example drug changes over time. Change the absorption rate constant of the drug and see how this affects the concentration-time profile of the drug.
(Assume all other parameters remain the same.)
(Note: the elimination rate constant is 0.25 h-1)
